I turn 27 on Monday.

And part of me can’t help but feel like a failure after accomplishing very little of what I wanted to accomplish in the last year.

But that’s ok.

Failure is part of the journey.

The first time astrology cracked something open for me was through learning about my sun sign. Gemini’s natural mode of operating is through asking questions. It’s based on a childlike curiosity to understand why things are the way they are. Envision the 9 year old that asks why to every answer given.

Gemini is that “Why-kid.”

Since Uranus entered Gemini, it’s been directly applying to my natal Sun and Mercury in the early degrees of Gemini.

This gives me an uber-personal impact of a much wider trend that is altering the mechanisms of society.

So let my personal experiences serve as something of a measuring tool for how Uranus works.

When Uranus is active, it feels like the rules don’t apply.

In astrology, Saturn governs rules and authority.

Uranus is the rebel that wants to rewrite the rules to serve the well-being of the downtrodden (because those in power don’t rebel against the current rules, as those rules serve them).

The effect of Uranus in Gemini over the next 7 years has the effect of “you know, I know I’ve been living my life a certain way up until now, but that was more because that’s what I thought I wanted when in reality it was what society expected of me, and not really what I wanted at all.”

So what rules do you feel like breaking?

What’s the cause that your inner rebel is being drawn to?

As an example, when I was in high school, I believed that going to college was the path to success.

After I developed awareness around that belief, I could question it and find out where it came from.

I realized this belief came from societal expectations as well as from the adults in my life. It was never actually mine to begin with, simply a part of my conditioning that was governing a part of my default programming.

For various reasons, I did not feel like my college experience enriched my life in a super meaningful way.

I was way happier in high school than I was in college.

When I realized that college wasn’t the path to my success, I made the decision to change my mind and write a different belief.

Which is a pretty empowering position to be in.

When you intentionally decide what to believe in as opposed to allowing societal conditioning to determine your thoughts, you become a freer individual.

Uranus in Gemini from 2026-2033 is rebellious.

About as rebellious as it gets.

So don’t let the rules, societal conditioning, or the status quo limit your potential.

This is a time period characterized by exciting new possibilities that never existed before.

Applying your understanding of how the world used to work to the New World that is being created is the only way to fail.

And when your vision doesn’t come true the first time, you iterate and try again.

Failure is simply part of making history.

Which is why, as I enter my 27th year of life, I’m pumped up to have the best year of my life, as I continue working towards fulfilling a dream.

And it’s my belief that my dreams are worth not giving up on that ensures that I’ll get there someday.

No matter how much failure it takes.
